Meitalt

Hi, my name is Meital, I am 28 years old. I am a mother to a sweet baby boy and a wife to a wonderful man from Israel.

I am a student for a BA in Business Management. My true passion is crafting.

We are supposed to move to our new house in mid December. I will have my very own studio and I can't wait to decorate it and make it my own magical place. I'm thinking of going on a shabby/ country style look. If you have photos of studios in this style I would love to see them and get inspired.

I love swaps! And will always go for the extra mile to make the people I’m sending swaps to smile.

Please note: I am using recycled packages from time to time just to help save some resources from our planet. I encourage you to do that as well.

You can watch my works and swaps in my flickr page *if you are suppose to get a swap from me watch out cause the pic may be there...

PLEASE! describe your package as boring as possible... crafts supplies, candies... etc. If you must write a value on the package please write only 10-20$, anything over 40-50$ will be held at the customs, and I'll have to pay lots of money to release it.

I'm ver crafty in general. I enjoy paper crafting, stamping, scrapbooking and sewing.

I recently completed my baby boy's first year scrapbook album with 100 pages! at the moment I'm working on several albums: pregnancy (a bit late i know:-) ), US vacation and project 365.

I am starting with sewing these days. I completed several projects but still I have a long way to go.

oh, before I forget, I really enjoy designing things in photoshop.

things I like AKA wish list

• ALL things that are cute

• Softies in Tilda style - like the Angeles and rabbits in this flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/tildaandco/pool/

• Beautiful papers and fabrics (especially Japanese fabrics).

• I don't own a die cutting machine so it would be great to receive embossed papers and die cuts such as swirls, birds, Labels One and four and scalloped circles and rectangles.

• Rub ons (serious addiction!)

• Scrapbooking and sewing books and magazines (they can be used, i don't mind).

• Bias tape maker, any size.

• Glass tiles for pendants and magnets

• stamped images that i can color for cards.

• wooden one piece cloth pins to store my ribbons.

• I am addicted to dollar stores. in Israel we have them but in a much smaller scale then in the US and it is rare to find scrapbooking related stuff.

• Vintage style whimsey jar.

• Tea Fort? from France. OMG they are sooo beautiful that i have to try them.

• And if by any chance you are fro the UK, i really miss eating Crumpets. if anyone sends me some i would love them forever!

I love pink and brown but really don't have colors that I don't like.

my favorite color combinations:

Pink and Green

Blue and Brown

Red and White

Well, I don't have much here, but I would really prefer not getting things that I will never use or put on display such as ATC's, postcards and matchboxes. dotees are also not "my cup of tea".

please don't send me crosses, angels, or anything religious.

please don't send me any food unless it's chocolate or crumpets (see my wish list).

I realized I should probably say that I am a NON-SMOKER. I am extremely sensitive to cigarette smoke, so please keep this in mind if sending me items that hold the odor. Thanks for being so considerate!!

Aviv is My wonderful amazing hubby who is so patient and supportive in my hobbies. he enjoys going out on the outdoors and flying his RC helies. he is totally addicted to another baby that he is raising at home- his iPhone... and also enjoys spending time with his new toy playstation3. well you get the point, he's a gadgets type of guy. if you have any PS3 games for him that would be wonderful. I would also love to surprise him with something handmade like crocheted stuff or other in "men" theme like video games, computers etc. He wears t shirts size XL.

My son, Rotem the sunshine of my life was born on April 2008. he is a true blessing and joy all wrapped in a small body. he loves things that he can't touch and play with :-) like keys, cell phones etc. any kind of toys for his age especially handmade would be awesome.

Heroes, Desperate housewifes, Grey's Anatomy

Celtic music, Old Rock (Metallica, Guns and Roses)

Still looking for an idea to surprise me? (this list is also for my husband in case he ever peeks here)

Cute Fabric ~ Lace Trims ~ Brads ~ Stamps ~ Stamp Pads ~ Blings ~ Paper or Fabric Flowers ~ adhesive runner ~ glue dots ~ handmade toys for my son ~ scrapbook paper ~ things from the $ aisle in Michaels ~ Little Tins ~ any product by Tim Holtz ~ cuttlebug ~ disappearing-ink marker ~ playstation3 games for hubby ~ kawaii fake food ~ something that is themed swap-bot
